Want the bravest, smartest, and deadliest heroes on your team? Tough luck. We have only gotten these unless idiots for you. But,do you have what it takes to help each Almost a Hero to become the true Heroes they were always meant to be? In this idle RPG, assemble a team of Almost Heroes. Send them on adventures, into deadly dungeons, and seasonal challenges! Along the way, unlock more Hero Characters, new powerful Rings, Pets with fantastic abilities, and finally permanent Artifact upgrades to make your next run just that little bit less deadly for your Almost Heroes team. *** ASSEMBLE - FIGHT - UPGRADE *** 17 absolute zeroes just waiting for you to help them become slightly good heroes. Assemble a team by choosing between your usual cannon fodder, a blacksmith dwarf, a pyromaniac, a blind wizard, a paper bagged bard, a thieving goblin, a cuddly granny, and even an angry tree! When the going gets tough, just restart your adventure by prestiging! We’re almost certain you will do better next time. *** AFK BATTLES *** Your team fights, dies, revives, and fights again even when you are away! Just come back when you feel like to reap their rewards. Eventually using upgraded Artifacts, you can also level them up automatically. After all, what would these Almost Heroes do without your strategic guidance? *** UNLOCK GAMEPLAY MODES *** Your Almost Heroes keep unlocking new game modes for you to send them on. While a few Heroes are battling epic bosses in the Adventure mode, test your strategic might in timed trials! There are also weekly Seasons with tough challenges for only the foolhardy. Thankfully, you can take pets like a sheep, an armadillo, and even a spectacularly dumb pigeon into battle. *** CUSTOMIZE YOUR ALMOST HEROES *** Even if your Almost Heroes don’t fight so well, they can at least look sharp while doing it! Choose from many Outfits for each hero. Upgrade their equipment to more epic versions. Give them trinkets that will help them suck a little less in battle. Are you ready for this challenge? Your next medieval fantasy adventure awaits. ## Key features - Assemble a team of unique heroes - Idle auto-battles - Unlock new characters and abilities - Permanent artifact upgrades - Seasonal challenges and timed trials - Customize hero outfits and equipment ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Common Pack | $1.99 | one-time | | Rare Pack | $4.99 | one-time | | Epic Pack | $19.99 | one-time | | Starter Pack | $3.99 | one-time | | Currency Pack | $9.99 | one-time | | Stage 500 Limited Offer | $3.99 | one-time | | Stage 100 offer | $5.99 | one-time | | Stage 300 offer | $4.99 | one-time | | SCRAP MINE | $4.99 | one-time | | SEASONAL OFFER | $12.99 | one-time | | Starter Pack | $1.99 | one-time | ## What do users think of Almost a Hero?

Going through the stages and doing a prestige, using Mythstones, then going again really satisfying game! It’s Awesome I love it! Thx Devs! ### 2/5 — Game wont open *2026-05-06, version 5.9.0* Ive gotten every hero, honestly no reason to keep playing but suddenly the game wont open? It says the time doesn’t match and force closes ### 1/5 — Ошибка входа *2026-05-06, version 5.9.0* Играл месяц нормально, после чего написали «Ой, кажется произошла ошибка» Исправьте ### 5/5 — Обновления будут? *2026-05-04, version 5.9.0* Разработчики, привет. Подскажите, пожалуйста, будут ли регулярные обновления в игре? Отслеживал их и последнее было два года назад, а сейчас вижу, что неделю назад выпустили патч. Есть надежда, что игра будет жить! ### 1/5 — Good game but dead *2026-02-16, version 5.7.3* Last update was 2 years ago but they still keep this game up to milk peoples money. If you play this game, do not spend a penny. It's definitely not worth it and developers already abandoned this game now they're just greedy ### 5/5 — F2P friendly! *2026-01-10, version 5.7.3* This game’s original art style and gameplay is top notch! I can see myself playing this for a long time. And, it’s completely F2P with optional ads. I’m loving the game so far. :> ### 1/5 — One problem *2025-12-29, version 5.7.3* Sometimes when I log on it puts up a popup to purchase a character. I can’t click off of this popup no matter how many times I click the X button. I have to force close the game and reopen it. It’s really unprofessional if this was done on purpose. If it’s an error then it should get fixed right away. Kids may think they have to actually buy content in order to play which is very unethical. They might not know they have to close the game like I do ### 5/5 — Great game *2025-12-24, version 5.7.3* Over the years I have played this game a lot! It has optional ads. I try to watch a few here and there to support the devs. It’s rare to see a game you can play for free that doesn’t have constant pop up ads. Most free games also make it difficult for free players to progress. This game is a solid choice for anyone’s phone to help kill time ### 1/5 — Still Bugged *2025-11-16, version 5.7.3* Game was great for a bit. But game locking bug still exists. ### 2/5 — It seemed fun *2025-10-27, version 5.7.3* It seemed like a fun game but without any updates i dont want to spend time on it… ## Frequently asked questions about Almost a Hero ### What is Almost a Hero - Idle Adventure?
